This two-bedroom terraced house in Abbey Village, Chorley, Lancashire, presents a mixed bag of opportunities and challenges for potential buyers. The property’s greatest asset is undoubtedly its location. Abbey Village is a picturesque village offering a tranquil and scenic living environment. The nearby Abbey Village Primary School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, and other schools within a reasonable distance, makes this an attractive option for families. Several train stations are within commuting distance, but may not suit those who frequently require rail services.

However, the property itself requires modernisation. The interior photographs reveal dated décor, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen’s appliances and cabinetry seem quite old and are in need of updating. The bathroom’s fixtures also seem somewhat aged. While the structure of the house appears sound, potential buyers should factor in renovation costs into their overall budget.

The outside space is modest, offering a small yard. While this provides some outdoor area, it’s not extensive and not remarkably landscaped.

In terms of price, the asking price seems moderately reasonable compared to other houses in the area, taking into account its condition. However, the lack of precise square footage measurements makes a complete assessment difficult. Potential buyers should conduct a thorough survey to assess the property’s condition and any potential repair costs before making an offer. This would allow them to make a better informed decision on price negotiation.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
